    Lyd The Worker Bee - That's affordable family law

    Lyd The Worker Bee

    Lyd handled a couple of important legal matters for me. She got the results I wanted. Plus she and…read morethe team are highly personable and easy to work with Highly recommended

    My biggest issue with this firm was the billing. The entire experience felt like I was being…read morenickel-and-dimed at every opportunity. I would receive multiple phone calls covering the same information and then be billed for each conversation. There were also charges for seemingly random "file reviews," even when there had been no new communication or activity that I could see that would have necessitated reviewing my file again. It became extremely frustrating watching my retainer get eaten away by charges that, from my perspective, seemed unnecessary or repetitive. The customer service was also incredibly condescending. On more than one occasion, the paralegal actually laughed at me when I didn't understand something about the legal process. Isn't helping clients understand that process the entire reason people seek out a service like this in the first place? I never claimed to be a legal expert. That's why I hired them. Being made to feel stupid for asking questions was unprofessional and completely unnecessary. The final straw came when I decided I no longer needed their services. I still had a couple hundred dollars remaining on my retainer and was then charged an "account closing fee." I would genuinely love to understand why it costs a client money for a firm to simply stop working on their case. Unfortunately, the quality of the work did not make the billing any easier to accept. Legal documents they prepared for me contained multiple errors and typos that had to be corrected. When you are being billed for seemingly every interaction and file review, you would at least expect the documents you are paying for to be carefully prepared. By the end, the billing practices felt excessive and difficult to justify. I walked away feeling like maximizing billable charges was a bigger priority than providing efficient service and value to the client. I went to this company specifically because I wanted an affordable alternative to an attorney. Instead, I walked away feeling nickel-and-dimed at every opportunity. For a business that markets itself as helping people navigate legal matters without the expense of hiring a lawyer, I found the billing practices particularly disappointing. In my experience, what was supposed to be the cost-effective option ended up feeling like anything but. I would not recommend this company. Save your money. Look elsewhere. UPDATE: The response from Lydia is correct -- I never voiced my concerns out of fear of not getting quality work from their offices after the frequent charges and the way they handle customer service. The few times I did request clarification about something, I was charged for condescending phone calls that simply reiterated previous points without appropriate explanation. At one point, I was even charged for an email that simply contained a blank form that I already had access to. I'm sure they do keep detailed records. Unfortunately this attention to detail is not the same when it comes to basic typos or even customer service. I'm not disputing their records at all, so it's a moot point. I will, however, say that the number of minutes they charged me for, at times, did not match my phone records. I suppose they round up. And, no, I did not previously express concerns about their customer service or condescending attitudes. You are a business. You are taking people's money and providing them with a service. If I need to tell you how to provide that service appropriately and respectfully, I'll simply take my business elsewhere -- which is exactly what I did. I waited to write this review until I was sure I no longer needed any documentation from them because, again, I just didn't trust them. And, yes, again, Lydia is correct. I did not follow up about the remainder balance of my retainer. After their "closing fees" I believe I had about $12 left. You can keep it, I'm sure the time you took to write this response falls under one of the inordinate business fees. Finally, she is correct -- I always ended correspondence with appreciation for their work. That's basic human kindness and a professional and appropriate way to deal with a business transaction. Did this business provide a service? Yes. So, I thanked them for their efforts. Did they do it well? No. So, here we are.

    In 2019, the grift and brainwashing perpetrated by my brother, sister, sister's "boyfriend" and…read moreother addicts living with my increasingly addled, elderly mother was in full swing. I started asking questions about large amounts of money disappearing from a joint account and, not getting any answers, called APS. The grifters' response was to coerce mom into creating a new trust, disavowing me and threatening to sue me for everything *I* was allegedly stealing. The grifters even had the gall to name two conspirators as co-trustees. I brought my mom to MMZ Law to meet with Marivel, told her of the situation and desperately needed her help to protect my mom from further financial abuse. She created new estate docs and installed another lawyer as POA to, in theory, act as overseer and buffer for all of mom's bank accounts (mom meanwhile had been coerced into opening new accounts in her name only so I couldn't see what was going on). I hoped it was enough and left SoCal to go back home to Seattle. My husband had been diagnosed with Stage IV lung cancer that year and I was unable to provide any in-person, hands-on help with my mom. When MMZ Law came on board, I told mom that any large purchases or withdrawals needed to okayed by her POA beforehand and she assured me that she understood and everything was fine. She kept up this facade for the next few years, even though her cognitive decline was becoming obvious. My brother died suddenly at home, at the end of 2020, at the height of COVID when the county was just stuffing bodies in reefers and not doing any autopsies. My sister died 18 months later, March 2022, in the same house. Both were "found" by the ex-boyfriend, who now considered himself my mom's main caregiver and in charge of the household. My husband died in July 2022. I took mom to MMZ Law to have her will redone, due to my siblings' deaths. Fast forward to September 2023. Mom mentioned that she thought she was running out of money, and I told her, that can't be possible. After all, she had sold two properties in the meantime and netted over $1M. I thought maybe she was imagining things and told her not to worry, even though I did not know anything about her financials at this point. Then, in December, the rental property she has up here had a massive roof leak and, while inspecting the damage, I also uncovered a terrible rat infestation in the attic. I asked mom to please transfer $8K into our joint account (which was almost at $0 at that point) so I could make the repairs. She transferred $4K and then promptly withdrew $2K. I called and asked her why did she do that and she couldn't tell me. Now I knew without a doubt that her complaint about running out of money was true. I had detailed every suspicion since the beginning and conveyed them to Marivel as they occurred. She usually did not respond. In 2024 I caught wind that something fishy was going on with her house. Mom's insurance guy said someone claiming to be my brother said he needed proof of insurance emailed to someone, which the insurance guy said usually means applying for a refinance, HELOC or reverse mortgage. I immediately called APS and messaged MMZ Law. Marivel's response was, I can't advise you because you're not my client, but you should probably do whatever you can to save what's left of your mother's estate. I filed for conservatorship to try to stop the reverse mortgage but ultimately had to withdraw my petition because the grifters coerced mom into hiring a lawyer to contest it and I couldn't afford to go on. I decided I'd done all I could and planned to move out of the country. Simultaneously in early 2025, my cousin-in-law and aunt (mom's sister) called me and asked if I'd talked to my mom recently. She told both of them she'd fallen and had been hospitalized in January. They were rightfully concerned because no one had been notified. As part of the grift, I'd been taken off the hospital and doctor need-to-know list years ago. After 6 months of silence, I called mom to see how she was doing and tell her I was moving and would never see her again. I told her the only thing that would keep me here was if she told me she wanted me to take care of her. And that's exactly what she said back to me. Most of 2025 was spent moving in with mom, hiring a lawyer, getting a restraining order with a moveout and CLETS on the grifting caregiver, finally gathering evidence from the house and bank (who were NOT helpful), clearing out the house, putting it on the market and moving mom in with me. Why detail this egregious example of elder financial abuse? Even though I picked MMZ Law, they chose not to take my suspicions seriously. They were more than happy to take $1000s, as I later learned, to simply and repeatedly reaffirm the basic structure of the fraudulent, coerced 2019 will. My mom lost 2 children, her home of 60 years, $1.5M, her trust. All could have been avoided if MMZ Law had done what I asked 6 years ago.

My mom is very ill, so any interruption or loss of health benefits has truly life-and-death consequences. I came in already navigating an incredibly difficult situation, with a lot of questions and a lot of anxiety. Patrick was compassionate, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the inner workings of Medicaid in a way that actually made sense, and he offered proactive advice that helped us think ahead rather than just react. I never felt rushed, and it was clear he genuinely cared about helping us do what was best for my mom. I walked out with peace of mind and a much clearer understanding of how I can support her during this time. Compassion, empathy, and real expertise were all present, which meant more than I can put into words. In the middle of such a hard chapter, it was truly meaningful to cross paths with an exceptional human.

There was some urgency to have matters done and we were prepped very well with what was needed to make the visit an effective one to cover all basis. She spent hours with us, no pressure, no rush, no hesitation to assist. I know for a fact that after we left her with a lot of information, the task to completion was a lot of work and handled the business on the backend without needing us again. So organized and clear throughout the whole process made us feel at ease and secure. Not to long ago, we hired her to amend my parents Trust that was done by another attorney over 20 years ago. Here's the plus++ she is bilingual which is my parents preference to communicate in Spanish. This time we met via zoom and it made things just as good as our first visit. Everything was registered through county quick and records were updated seamlessly with no issue or concern. Georgina and her firm are top notch, professional and serving with grace to their clients. I have referred them to family and friends with confidence. Any service needed will be handled with the TLC required case by case!
